Topics
Do Not Save Settings on Exit

When this field is checked, windows 95/98/NT will not save current desktop settings etc. when you shut down windows.


Disable ShutDown in start menu

When this field is checked, you will no longer be able to shut down the Workstation / Server. (Useful E.g. if the computer is acting as a server or fax-machine, and must be online 24h etc.).


Disable Log off workstation

If (for some reason) you wish to disable a user from logging off a workstation, you can check this field.  The user can still shutdown the machine, but he / she will be unable to log off.  This might be useful if you use some advanced login-scripts etc.

(This option might only be available if you are connected to a network or you are using Win 98)


Disable restart in ms-dos mode

With this feature you can disable the option to "Restart in MS-DOS mode" (chosen in the start, shutdown menu).


No auto run (no autostart)
No Auto Run (CD-ROM)

With this field checked windows should no longer auto start CD's inserted into your CD-ROM drive.  E.g. if you insert a magazine cover CD, sometimes this causes the menu program from the CD to be executed, this function should disable this.


Clear recent docs on logoff
Clear recent docs on logoff / shutdown

With this field checked win98 will clear the recent docs folder (found in the start menu) when you shutdown / logoff your workstation.  This can be useful if you are concerned about your privacy, as no-one can see what documents you have been accessing.

(Affects Win98 / NT50)


No Add Printer

With this field checked, you are no longer able to add new printers to windows.  If you at a later time wish to add a new printer, all you have to do is to un-check this field.


No Delete Printer

When this field is checked, you can no longer delete any of the printer drivers / settings installed on the PC.


No Printer tabs

With this field checked, you disable 2 of the settings tabs in printer configuration.  The two tabs disabled are "Details" and "General", these fields normally controls the advanced settings of your printer, such as "port" settings and "time out" settings.  You can however still change paper settings etc.


No config page
Disable config page

With this field checked, you can no longer access the tab called "Hardware Profiles" (found in Control Panel / System).  This will make it impossible for the user to add / remove different hardware profiles.


Disable Device Manager Page

With this field checked, you can no longer access the tab called "Device Manager" (found in Control Panel / System).  This is a crucial part of Windows, here you can setup IRQ + DMA plus a lot of other different low-level settings, if a person gets loose in this area he can cause unbelievable damage.


Disable file systems page
Disable File System Page

With this field checked, you can no longer access the button called "File System" (found in Control Panel / System / Performance / Advanced Settings).  This field controls some 'cache' settings and some troubleshooting functions, if the system is set up properly there is no need for access to this field thus I suggest disabling it.


Disable Virtual Memory Page

With this field checked, you can no longer access the button called "Virtual Memory" (found in Control Panel / System / Performance / Advanced Settings).  This field controls the virtual memory settings of the pc, it is not recommend to alter these settings thus I suggest disabling this function.


Disable Run Command in Start menu

With this field checked, you can no longer access the field called "Run" in the start menu.  The next time you boot the pc, the field run will disappear from the Start menu, if you later wish to re-enable the function you will have to un-check this field and reboot. This will prevent the execution of programs via the "Run" field, however you can still execute programs via "My Computer", "Windows-Explorer" and "Dos Prompts".

You will need to re-boot after checking / unchecking this field!


Disable find option
Disable Find option from start menu

With this field checked, you can no longer access the field called "Find" in the start menu.  The next time you boot the pc, the field run will disappear from the Start menu, if you later wish to re-enable the function you will have to un-check this field and reboot.  The result is obviously that you can no longer use the search functions in windows. Sometimes you can still hit F3 to execute a find dialog, I have no explanation for this?!

You will need to re-boot after checking / unchecking this field!


Disable Recent docs in start menu

By clicking this field you will remove the recent docs folder from your start menu. Useful if you are very concerned about your privacy.

You will need to re-boot after checking / unchecking this field!

(Affects Win98 / NT50 and perhaps Win 95 and IE40)


Disable folder options in start menu

With this field checked the menu item "Folder options" will be removed from the Start (start / settings) menu.  The option can be accessed from other places (e.g. the control panel) and is thus not completely efficient, however its a start.

You will need to re-boot after checking / unchecking this field!

(Affects Win98 and perhaps Win 95 with IE40)


Disable Favorites on start menu

By clicking this field you will remove the Favorites folder from your start menu. Useful if you are very concerned about your privacy.

You will need to re-boot after checking / unchecking this field!

(Affects Win98 / NT50 and perhaps Win 95 with IE40)


Disable set active desktop on start menu

By clicking this field you will no longer be able to make changes to the active desktop (from the settings folder, found in the start menu)..  Please note that you can still change the settings, just not via the start menu.  I am sorry about this, but I have no control over the way Microsoft made their security features. Anyway its better than nothing.

You will need to re-boot after checking / unchecking this field!

(Affects Win98 / NT50 and perhaps Win 95 with IE40)


Hide desktop icons

With this field checked, all icons will be hidden from your desktop (This will first happen after a reboot), the icons can be recalled by un-checking the field again (req. another reboot).  As long as this function is active, you cannot access the icons on your desktop.

DO NOT TRY TO ADD OR IN ANY WAY ALTER THE ICONS ON YOUR DESKTOP WHILE THIS SETTING IS ACTIVE, NOTHING SHOULD HAPPEN... HOWEVER, ATLEAST ONE PERSON CLAIM TO HAVE LOST HIS DESKTOP ICONS IN A SITTUATION RELATED TO THIS..

You will need to re-boot after checking / unchecking this field!


Classic Shell
Classic shell (win 95 layout to Win 98)

This field offers you the option to return to the good old win95 layout on Win 98 / NT 5.0 (no more html all over your Windows Explorer etc.).  What to say!?  Well if you hate the new layout this is for you, if not just ignore it.

Please note:

It might be a bit buggy to get the win 98 layout back, so don't use this option unless you are fairly sure you wish to keep the setting (or you are sure you know how the get it back).. Unclicking this field will not restore everything to the state it was (this is impossible due to the way Win98 works), some things needs to be done manually..

(Affects Win98 / NT50 and perhaps Win 95 with IE40)


No Display Properties

With this field checked, you can no longer access the display settings (found in control panel / display).  This mean that you cannot alter the resolution, screensaver or background settings.  However some programs like ACDsee etc. can alter your background even with this field checked, so it is not tamper-proof.  However it will keep most busybodies at an arms length.


Disable and hide background settings

With this field checked, you can no longer change the settings concerning the desktop background etc.

Please note:

Some programs like ACDsee etc. can alter your background even with this field checked, so it is not tamper-proof.  However it will keep most busybodies at an arms length.  I am working on a solution to this (an add-on to Security SetUp II), so please check my web-site from time to time... www.security-setup.dk


Disable and hide Screensaver settings

With this field checked, you can no longer alter the screensaver settings.  This is very useful in preventing busybodies in setting up screensavers with password control etc.  However again this is not tamper-proof, some screensavers come with their own installation program, these installation programs can override this security feature.


Disable and hide apperance settings
Disable and hide Appearance settings

With this field checked, you can no longer change the colors and fonts of your desktop.


Disable and hide Active desktop settings

With this field checked, you can no longer alter the active desktop settings.  Accessed via the control panel (display settings), I do not use the active desktop settings my self, thus I have not tested this field to its full potential...  There might be ways around this, if you find any please let me know..

(Affects Win98 / NT50 and perhaps Win 95 with IE40)


No Display settings

With this field checked, you can no longer change the resolution and other important settings for your desktop (also includes the Plus pack settings if installed, on my computer it even took my 3dfx settings tab off-line).  Very good and useful security option.


Disable right click properties menu
Disable "Right click" properties menu

With this field checked you will no longer be able to 'right click' on desktop items and get their properties..  However by holding down alt and double clicking icons these settings are still available, thus the solution is not perfect (not everyone know about the "alt + double click" thingy, so it might work for some).

You might need to re-boot after checking / unchecking this field!

(Affects Win98 and possibly NT50)


Disable systemtray right click menu
Disable systemtray "right click" menu

With this field checked you will no longer be able to 'right click' the taskbar and get those pop-up menu's that among other things allow you to close the program.

You might need to re-boot after checking / unchecking this field!

(Affects Win98 and possibly NT50)


Hide entire network

This field will affect your ability to access the "Network Neighborhood".

You will not be able to browse the Entire Network, but you still do have

access to the computers in your workgroup (see "No workgroup contents").

(Microsoft warns!)

Consequences of hiding Network Neighborhood

Since shell support for the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) notation is handled by the Network Neighborhood, hiding the Network Neighborhood icon will prevent Explorer from accessing resources via UNCs.  In order to access network resources from Explorer, you need to map them to a drive letter.  Note that the MS-DOS command prompt and other applications are not affected by this setting, because they do not use the Network Neighborhood to resolve UNCs.

In particular, hiding the Network Neighborhood prevents Direct Cable Connection from displaying the contents of the host computer. Aside from this, Direct Cable Connection functions normally.


Lock Net Setup

With this field checked, you disable the icon "Network Settings" in the control panel.  This mean that you cannot change any settings concerning network setup.  Very useful if your pc is connected to a network, and you wish to protect these settings.


Lock and hide Net ID Setup

With this field checked, the tab called "Identification" is disabled (found in control panel / network).  This mean that you can no longer (until you re-enable the function) change the Computername / Workgroup / Computer Description (used when networking). Very useful if your pc is connected to a network, and you wish to protect these settings.


Lock and hide net security setup

With this field checked, you can no longer change the security settings "Access Control" (found in control panel / network). Very useful if your pc is connected to a network, and you wish to protect these settings.


Password

Security SetUp II has for your protection been equipped with a password / login feature.  Thus every time you enter Security SetUp you (or anyone else for that matter) will be prompted for a password.

Some people have problems remembering passwords, thus I have included an option to make a KEY-DISK.  Using the key-disk you will be able to enter Security SetUp II without entering the password, furthermore you can also change the password by using the key-disk.  As the key-disk is sort of a master key it is important that you KEEP IT IN A SAFE PLACE!!  if anyone else gets hold of a copy of this disk, he / she will have full access to Security SetUp...  The Key-disk differs from registration to registration thus a key-disk made with an unregistered version of Security SetUp (or made on a machine registered to another company) will not work on a registered version of Security SetUp and vise versa..

The password can be up to 99 chars long and is NOT case sensetive...

If you forget your password and have not made a key-disk support@security-setup.dk can issue an emergency key-disk for you, however you will be charged an administration fee for this service..

So for your own sake, make a key-disk!!!


No Workgroup Contents

This field will affect your ability to access the "Network Neighborhood". With this field checked, all computers from your workgroup will be removed from plain view in the Network Neighborhood. This alone will not disable access to the computers, you can still access them, if you know their identification name / IP address or browse the Entire Network (see "Hide Entire Network").

(Thanks to Karsten Hiddemann for his help on this subject).


Disable File / Printer Sharing

With this field checked, you cannot change the settings regarding File & Printer Sharing (found as a button in control panel / network). Useful if your pc is connected to a network, and you wish to protect these settings.  Related to Disable printer sharing!?


Disable Printer Sharing

This field appear to have no effect (atleast not on stand alone workstations)!?  I would suggest you use "Disable file / printer sharing" instead!  I have been told that it should work in network enviroments!?


No Net Hood

This is somewhat of a puzzle, this field appear to have no effect!?  My research indicates that it might have some effect, that is why I chose to include the field.  The field might work on some special setup.

This option is likely to have some effect on network enviroments.


Disable windows update

When this field is checked the menu item "Windows 98 update" is removed from the Start menu.  I have not had the opportunity to check if this completely blocks win-web-update.

You will need to re-boot after checking / unchecking this field!

(Affects only  Win98 and possibly NT50)


Disable registry editor
Disable RegEdit Editor

With this field checked,  you cannot open the RegEdit editor in edit mode.

The RegEdit command enables you to edit the system registry under windows 95/98/NT. Under windows 95/98/NT most programs no longer use INI files as under windows 3.11, instead they keep this information in a central database called the system registry (a file called c:\windows\system.dat).

As almost 100% of the security functions under windows 95/98/NT is controlled via the system registry (this also counts for screensaver settings etc.), it is a good security precaution to lock the RegEdit, however the RegEdit can also be your last resort in some system breakdowns so unless it is absolutely imperative for security reasons I do NOT suggest you disable the RegEdit command. Btw. the only way to re-enable the RegEdit command if locked, is with this utility (or another security program, like PolEdit or StormWindows).

WARNING!

This is an advanced feature, do not use unless you are sure what you are dealing with!!


Import Reg_file
Import / merge external reg-file

This is the most advanced option in Security SetUp, it is aimed at professional users only.

If you don't know anything about regedit.exe, keep away from this!! If however you have worked with the regedit.exe program, and have problems with users altering settings on your workstations, this might be a great help to you.

From regedit.exe you can make registry exports (Export Registry File), combined with "Import / merge external reg-file" you can make Security SetUp import / merge the exported reg-file on bootup / login.

This is VERY useful for preserving important settings (e.g. internet settings), simply export the area of the registry that contains the settings (internet (start web-page etc.)) and order Security SetUp to merge these settings at startup.  This will ensure that the settings stay the same even if a user makes changes!

Some useful area's of the registry are:

Web start page:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer

Security settings IE40:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

Desktop Settings:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop


Disable Controlpanel

With this field checked, you can no longer access the Control Panel (Please note that it requires a reboot after changing this setting, both when en and disabling).  This is more or less the ultimate way to ensure that no-one messes with your setup, and when your pc once is configured for optimal performance there is really no need to mess around in the control panel (and you can always re-enable the control panel if needed).  I strongly suggest that you use this security option, if your pc is frequently or just sometimes used by 'busybodies'.

You can also hide 'single' items via the tab CONTROL PANEL (found here in Security SetUp II).

You will need to re-boot after checking / unchecking this field!


Disable SetTaskbar in startmenu

With this field checked, you remove the field "Settings" from your Start Menu (This will first happen after a reboot). Thus you prevent busybodies from messing with your carefully set up Taskbar, printers or control panel. This is more or less the ultimate way to ensure that no-one messes with your setup, and when your pc once is configured for optimal performance there is really no need to mess around with this (and you can always re-enable these options if needed).

You will need to re-boot after checking / unchecking this field!


Disable ALL password operations

This option will prevent any access to the password icon in the control panel.  Any attempt to access the icon will be met with a message stating that it is impossible to change access this option.


Disable Password Profile Page

With this field checked, you can no longer alter the settings regarding Password profiles (found in control panel / password / user profiles) (The page will now be hidden).


Disable set change password page
Disable Set / change password page

With this field checked, you no longer have access to the set / change password page (found in control panel / password / Change Passwords) (The page will now be hidden) .


Autolaunch_ssu
Autolaunch Security SetUp.

If you check this field Security SetUp will launch every time you login / startup windows, Security SetUp will place itself minimized beside your clock and will thus only be one click away.

This option has nothing to do with network / multiple users / profiles (it will not implement the security options on multiple profiles / users that logs in with different profiles), all this option does is to launch Security SetUp II as a minimized application every time windows is started.!

Security SetUp is not optimized for this type of usage, thus I am not sure what the exact memory requirements etc. is, however it's there and it works.

Important!

If you uninstall Security SetUp, you will need to uncheck this field first!


Disable F8 and F5 at startup

When you click this field you will lock-out the F-Keys at startup (e.g. no command prompt only etc.).  This is a very useful feature, however its a drag if debugging a system..  If you have security problems I strongly suggest you use this option.

This option is DISABLED under Win NT.


Hide drives
Hide Drives in MyComputer

With this field checked, the drives selected will be removed from plain view in MyComputer.  This alone will not disable access to your different drives, you can still access those by Windows-Explorer, Dos prompt or Run (Start menu), thus if you wish to prevent people from executing programs (other than those found in Start menu) this is not a perfect solution.  With windows 98 / NT 5.0 it gets even harder as these settings have very little effect (if any) unless you use the classic shell (found elsewhere in this program)..

Works poorly with Win 98 / NT 5.0..

(Easy to bypass)


Files allowed

This one of the more 'advanced' / 'comprehensive' features added to Security SetUp, with this option you will be able to decide what programs / files can be run on the workstation (perfect for environments that use only a few programs, e.g. internet cafe's or office computers).

Simply make a list (using the buttons) of the programs you wish the user to be able to use, if a user try to execute a program not on the list, he will be warned that this is not possible due to security settings on that workstation.

For security reasons Security SetUp and Regedit are always added to the list (you might not see them, but they will be there)!!!

It is very likely that you will need to re-boot after en-/ disabling this option!

(Especially on Win 98 / NT 5.0)


Disable MS-DOS programs
Disable dos applications

With this field checked, you can no longer execute non windows programs.

This mean that you cannot execute any kind of dos program (this even disables commands like deltree and xcopy), a good security option if the users of your pc has no specific need for dos utilities (however please note; Some windows compression programs call dos externals in order to work, this will NOT be possible if this restriction is active!!!).

Be sure to check that EVERYTHING works after applying this feature, more programs than you know use ms-dos externals to do their 'dirtywork'.


Control panel items
Control Panel

By marking items in this section, the selected items will be hidden from users opening the control panel.  If, at a later time you need to re-access them, you can simply uncheck them again, and you will have full access once again.

The names can be confusing, I have found no way of getting a more 'saying' name for the items?  and as the control panel differs from computer to computer, I could not just name the objects myself.  Sorry!  You can experiment rather easily though, so it wont pose much of a problem!

E.g..

INETCPL.CPL = Internet

MLCFG32.CPL = e-mail settings

(for exchange users anyway)

This is a perfect way to keep busybodies out of your inter- / network settings.

This can be done without a re-boot..


Welcome
Welcome to Security SetUp II - Light

This is the official release of Security SetUp II - Light (build 201).

Help-File-Build: 0003

This help file is NOT intended as a manual to Security SetUp, it is aimed as an on-line reference.  To get help in Security SetUp, mark the field you require help with and hit the "F1" key, or click on the "?" in the titlebar and then on the field you need help with.

Security SetUp II was created by:

Michael Møller, age 29.

IT-Consultant for the Danish Home Guard.

More or less the Danish equivalent to the

United States National Guard.

For further information etc. please visit the official web-site:

www.security-setup.dk

or e-mail:
sale@security-setup.dk


What is Security SetUp
What is Security SetUp II - Light

There is a new Sheriff in town
Tired of young hooligans, annoying colleges, roommates, kids, hacking students, (and the list goes on and on) messing up your carefully set up MS-Windows 9X / NT workstation / Server... Well "No more mister nice guy!", there is a new Sheriff in town and his name is "Security SetUp II - Light"..

Presenting "Security SetUp II - Light".. "Security SetUp II - Light" will present you with the ability to combat vandalism (or pure ignorance) from destroying the Windows 9X / NT setup. No more must you endure constant changes to the desktop-, network-, dial-up-, internet- etc. etc. settings. Now you are in charge, and have a way of 'padlocking' those settings.

YOU are in control

Security SetUp will simply disable the user's ability to access the settings (selected by you), you will be put in charge of what areas of the Windows 9X / NT setup the user can access. You decide the level of control, you can go from the extreme (E.g.. deciding that the user can change nothing and only access a list of specified programs / files) to the lighter levels (E.g.. the user cannot change the desktop resolution)... You are BACK IN CHARGE, finally...

Saving time

The goal is to save time and agony, no more long hours cleaning up the mess from those destructive forces destroying your system settings..

Sounds to good to be true?
well yes and no. Windows 9X is NOT a secure system nor will it ever be, but by using "Security SetUp II - Light" you will have far greater control over the situation. However you will not be in absolute control, a skilled person set on hacking your system armed with great knowledge of the deep core of Windows 9X and the right tools, will be able to bypass any security application (like Security SetUp II - Light") built for Windows 9X. The good news is that we are talking "expert knowledge" here, not every young hacker out there is capable of hacking this kind of security. Thus Security SetUp II - Light will be sufficient for most environments (like your home pc, classroom PC's, library PC's etc etc.), in my opinion places with greater need for security will be running Windows NT (which is born with a far better built in security interface). What I am saying here is "Security SetUp is NOT a magic wand that will solve ALL your security problems over night", when that is said I will continue saying that "Security SetUp WILL make the task of administering the security issues on your pc / PC's A WHOLE LOT EASIER, no kidding".

Anyone can do this

Security SetUp is very easy to use, however I do advice that it only be used by people with some knowledge of Windows 9X / NT. You will be presented with an easy to understand GUI assisted with on-line easy to access build in help.

FREE
What more to say than try a fully functional version FREE for 20 days (Security SetUp II is shareware), if you like it (which I am sure of) you are offered the opportunity to buy a license at a ridiculously cheap rate (both private and commercial licenses are available at unbeatable prices)..

There are NO limitations in the unregistered version (it will even work after the 20 day evaluation period), however as long as the software is unregistered you will have to put up with a few nag screens.


IMPORTANT INFO
How to register Security SetUp

Security SetUp II is shareware, thus if you use it beyond 20 days you are required to buy a license!  When you buy a license, the delays build into Security SetUp will be removed, thus making the software much faster and easier to use.

There are different ways to register..

For info on how to register and pricing, please visit the web-site!

Credit Card / Bank Check

I use an American based company to handle all credit-card transfers, the name of the company is "Universal Commerce Inc." and you can visit their web-site at www.regnow.com (my vendor no is 1296-2)

(I will never actually see your credit card number).

1. Using your credit card, you can register via my web-site www.security-setup.dk.  All you do is fill out the form, and the license (and license file) will be e-mailed to you!  Simple and safe!  To ensure your safety the registration form is located on a secure server (SSL), any information send via the internet (including your credit card number) is encrypted and can thus not be read by anyone else..  SSL is used by banks and military worldwide, so I considder this to be quite safe.

2. Orders can also be Faxed / Phoned in (you will still need a vaild e-mail address), please refer to the web-site for further info.  Please note that "Universal Commerce Inc" does NOT offer technical support for Security SetUp, all questions about the software MUST be directed to Support@Security-SetUp.dk

3. You can also pay via check or purchase order (again via "Universal Commerce Inc.") , for further information please check my web-site.

All major creditcards accepted.

Support@Security-SetUp.Dk


Feature info
IMPORTANT NOTE

About Password / Key-Disks!

It is crucial that you do not forget the password you select for Security SetUp II.

Security SetUp II has implemented a new and very advanced password encryption system, far more complex than the earlier version.  In the first version of Security SetUp (V1.0) you could simply re-install the software, and thus reset the password, this is NO LONGER POSSIBLE.

To prevent being locked out, you can create a Key-Disk!  With a Key-Disk you will be able to enter the program, without the password (and so will anyone else with the key-disk, so keep it locked down!!).

The Key-Disk is coded in a way so that it includes your reg-info, thus a key-disk created with a registered version will not work on other installations of Security SetUp (Registered and Unregistered). A Key-Disk created with an UNREGISTERED version of Security SetUp will work on ALL UNREGISTERED installations, but NOT on a registered installation.

It is IMPORTANT that you remember to make a new Key-Disk after you register Security SetUp, as the old Key-Disk will be VOID after registration.

If you have forgotten your password (and have not made a Key-Disk) I will still be able to help you, however due to the complexity of this assistance you will be charged an administration fee.

In other words, MAKE A KEY DISK!!!


Support

Before contacting me, please check the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) on my web-site, here you will find answers to some of the more common questions I get (it is very likely you will find the answer to your question there!).

Please be advised that support capacity is limited, thus answers can not be expected to be neither prompt nor comprehensive, however it is my goal (if at all possible) to answer any question / request I get.

IMPORTANT!

I can ONLY offer support in English and Danish, I have NO WAY of answering questions in Spanish, German or the likes sorry.

Two questions I get ALL THE TIME are:

Q. Will you make National versions of Security SetUp (E.g.. Danish, Spanish, German...)

A. No, Security SetUp will ONLY be released in English (supporting national versions is IMPOSSIBLE with my limited staff (me, and no I am not hiring :-)).

Q. Could you include Encryption or Password control for Windows / Folders.

A. No, this falls way out of the scope for Security SetUp. Security SetUp is a 'settings security manager' only.

Im- / Export settings and registry files

On popular demand I have added an Im- / Export feature to Security SetUp (Build 200 and later);

Clear ALL fields.

This will clear all check boxes in Security SetUp (except auto launch Security SetUp), this is useful if you need to remove all security settings from your system.  Simply click "Clear ALL fields" and then "Apply" and all security settings are reset (you might still need to reboot).

Export settings.

By making an "Export Settings" from Security SetUp you will create a template file containing all the settings from Security SetUp.  The file will contain all the settings you have entered.  The idea is that you can save this template and then quickly import this on other machines (very practical if you need the same settings on several machines).

Import settings.

This is the import feature for the files you created with export settings.

Export Registry File (This feature is ONLY available to Win 9x users with commercial registrations)

With this advanced feature you can make exports of the system registry, especially the part containing the security settings created by Security SetUp.  The point is that by copying the exported *.reg file to a floppy you can very quickly implement the same security settings on other machines.  By double-clicking the *.reg file you will implement the security settings contained in the *.reg file, this is a bit more practical / faster than Importing the settings into Security SetUp and then applying them.

Some important facts;

Registry files will NOT turn security settings off, thus if you have already implemented tighter security than those found in the *.reg file these tighter settings will NOT be turned off!

The hide items from 'Control Panel' are NOT implemented in the *.reg files.

The Im- / Export features has NOTHING to do with the *.POL files created by Microsoft PolEdit.exe, they are hence not compatible.


Basic help (field help)
Please Note:

This help file is NOT intended as a manual to Security SetUp, it is aimed as an on-line reference.

To get help in Security SetUp, mark the field you require help with and hit the "F1" key, or click on the "?" in the titlebar and then on the field you need help with.

If you run into problems or questions that are not answered in this help file, please feel free to contact:

Support@Security-setup.dk


Windows NT users
Important note for Windows NT users.

You need to have administrative rights in order to use Security SetUp II - Light, if you do not have administrative rights you will be prompted for a password and no matter what you enter you will be rejected.  This is due to a minor difference in Win 9x and NT, I will work to fix this however for now it seams fair enough that users need to have administrative rights to use the software.


Whats new
Whats new in this release?

Fixed some very minor bugs for NT users.

Build 200 December 1998;

Added im-/export of configuration files.
